Kingdom Athletic Club 9U Baseball

What an absolute blast of an evening for the Kingdom Baseball family! A massive thank you to the Wake Forest FUNGO for hosting our boys tonight and making them feel like true big-leaguers.

Our players had the incredible opportunity to stand on the field, play catch with college athletes, and even show off their speed (and balance!) in a hilarious bat spin race.

We wrapped up the night celebrating the end of a fantastic season with some well-deserved awards and delicious cupcakes.

We couldn’t be prouder of how hard these boys worked all season long, and tonight was the perfect, fun-filled family outing to celebrate them. Thank you again to the Fungo organization for having us out and giving our Kingdom Baseball crew a night they won't soon forget! 🙌👑⚾️

⚾️ What a Finish, Kingdom Baseball! ⚾️

Heading into this final stretch, we made a choice: we chose to challenge them to step up to the next level. They proved without a shadow of a doubt that they can compete with absolutely anyone.

Making it to the championship game in any tournament is a massive victory in and of itself. But doing it while debuting brand new skills—skills they’ve never put to the test before—against a team that has been running those same plays for a long time? That is beyond impressive.

Sure, there were some frustrations and a few tears along the way, but that is exactly what growth looks like. Yesterday was an absolutely amazing day of baseball.

Hold those gold rings high, boys—you earned every single bit of them! 💍🔥

Stay tuned, everyone! More photos and highlights are coming your way later this week. 📸👇

📅 When: Tomorrow, June 27th

📍 Where: Middle Creek Sports Complex

Let’s go Kingdom! Drop some 🔥 in the comments to wish the boys luck on the mound and at the plate!

I’m not going to lie, the transition to kid pitch had a few of us (coaches and parents included! 😅) feeling a little nervous. It’s a big step up, and the idea of it can be pretty intimidating.

But wow, did these kids show up today! 🙌

Today’s practice was incredibly productive. With every throw and every swing, you could literally watch their confidence grow. They are shaking off the nerves and realizing just how capable they really are.
We only have 3 more practices left to fine-tune everything before we put our new skills to the test in our very first game!

Huge shoutout to these players for working hard and cheering each other on. The future looks bright (and fast)! 🔥💪
